i have had the best weekend i've had in a long time, though i am looking forward to not having to be on crutches and getting super tired from walking.
friday night i went to alcohol class, expecting to be done by 7:30 and home by 8:30 after grocery shopping with katie. instead i developed insta-crush on jamie, a 29-year-old in my class, and went drinking with him, zed, amanda and alicia. we went to boulder cafe for happy hour and then picked up three sixers and went to alicia's. i smoked pot for the first time in a year, and after great conversation with jamie i zoned out to zed and alicia singing. it was pretty awesome, and one of those smiling, life is perfect moments. it wasn't just the weed - for the first time in a year, i just felt really content.
tonight i saw cat-a-tac with bike4fish. van is one of those people who are genuine and interesting, and i hadn't seen him in two years, but it just felt like normal. dinner at the walnut room was tasty - they have nice, crispy thin-crust pizza. not quite new york style, but darn good. we hung around a bit, and i saw jim for two seconds. unlike most of the other cat-a-tac shows i've seen, i hardly talked to him at all. he even left without saying goodbye (which got him a highly amusing, scolding e-mail) and as usual i met someone new that was interesting. several new people, actually. i talked lots of shit, learned lots of shit, and smiled and laughed a lot.
all in all, after thinking about oliver ("the brit") a lot, and leaving him a drunken voicemail, it was a really healthy, good weekend. even if i did leave that message friday night after i got home (eek).
sometimes, when i think life isn't worth it, i think about things like this, and the amazing people i have in my life...
i know i'll be okay. and that's a damn good feeling.
